The dynamic of the two being ex-Rock band members but making beautiful Folk music together is delicious, strange, but intriguing. In a few words, it’s like Foo Fighters gone Peter Gabriel!’ Nusic 2017 STRANGE CURRENCIES Put two ex-rock band members together. One an insanely talented multi-instrumentalist and the other a stunningly powerful vocalist. Add over 40 years combined experience of performing and making music. Bring to the boil and what comes out is something strange. Claudine West provides the music (be it Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Bass, Keyboards or Drums). As well as providing backing vocals and lyrics. PP Johnson brings his words, production knowledge and masterful voice to a combined sound that can only be described as Strange Currencies.

Influenced by The Who, The Doors, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Bobby Womack, Foo Fighters, Tori Amos, Black Sabbath, Jose Gonzalez and Suzanne Vega and R.E.M. (with the band name taken from the R.E.M. song). Strange Currencies EP Track Listing I Don’t Dance A catchy acoustic funky track about today’s drinking culture. Intoxication being the only way to willingly get on the dance floor (for people of a certain age). Featuring guest harmonica by Robert ‘Too Tall’ Batchelor, whom the pair met on a live mic night at The Doghouse in Carlton, Nottingham.Live Dates https://strangecu.wordpress.com/gigs/ Official Website https://strangecu.wordpress.com/bio/ Reverbnation https://www.reverbnation.com/strangecurrencies Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/strange-currencies-636077644 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/strangecu/ Twitter @strangecu https://twitter.com/strangecu
